De Zerbi Says Australia Tour Left Tottenham Unprepared for Brentford Defeat

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi says the club’s pre-season tour of Australia contributed to the team’s lack of physical readiness in their 3-0 opening-day defeat to Brentford. He said the long trip limited the intensity of training and made it difficult to push players too hard after they returned late from the World Cup. De Zerbi stressed that the situation should not be used as an excuse. He said Tottenham are still adapting to a new project and must work through the early challenges.
